The exhibition celebrates the Rolling Stones' incredible recording and touring career and features their artistic collaborations in music, art and design, fashion and live performance.

500 original artefacts will be presented at the exhibition, which is making its way around the world. Sydney will be the only Australian stop on the world tour.

NSW Premier Mike Baird said the exhibition will arrive in Sydney in November 2018.

“It’s a great endorsement for Sydney as Australia’s event capital and we look forward to hosting Exhibitionism at the new International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney.”

The event showcases the technology and instruments that have passed through the band over the years, according to Rolling Stones band member Keith Richards.

Rolling Stones front man Mick Jagger said, “We've been thinking about this for quite a long time but we wanted it to be just right and on a large scale. It’s not going to be like walking into a museum. It’s going to be an event, an experience."
